The Seattle Seahawks have claimed wide receiver Josh Gordon off waivers following his release off injured reserve by the New England Patriots.
The first hint of this move came by way of his agent, who tweeted a message Friday afternoon.

Shortly afterward, Josina Anderson of ESPN shared that Gordon had been claimed off waivers but that the team claiming him was waiting to announce the move due to another roster move, which had not yet been made.
I'm told Josh Gordon has been claimed off waivers, per source. The team is waiting to inform the player that will be cut based on the corresponding move for Gordon.

It was confirmed a short time later and then seconded by Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson, who conveyed excitement for his new offensive weapon.
Pete Carroll has coached & worked w/a variety of players. When I think of the men in the #Seahawks locker room from Bobby Wagner, KJ Wright, the Griffin brothers, to Tyler Lockett who I know will take special interest, I can see Josh Gordon landed in 1 of t/ better spots for him.

Gordon is healthy and passed his physical in New England before being released. He’s one of the league’s most talented receivers and has never failed to produce when on the field.
Playing in 58 career games, Gordon has caught 240 passes for 4,113 yards and 20 touchdowns.
